  Episode Quotes  
Alex: Why would you wanna help me after what I did?
Izzie: Because, it's what Jesus would freakin' do!
 
Nurse: Chief, Adelle just called.
Chief: Tell her I'm ---
Nurse: She knows you're not in surgery and she said to tell you, quote: We are going to our niece's school pageant this morning. You have known about it for months. And after what you pulled on Thanksgiving, than she started using a great many word that I don't feel comfortable repeating.
Chief: Look - I have 7 surgeons on vacation.
Nurse: There was something about divorce.
 
(At the beginning of the episode)
Derek: Hey.
Meredith: Hey! You okay? You seem ...
Derek: Yeah. You know ... holidays.
Meredith: Oh. Yeah. I do know.

(At the end of the episode)
Derek: Hey.
Meredith: Hey.
Derek: You okay?
Meredith: Yeah, yeah. You know, holidays.
Derek: Yeah. I do know.
 
George: It looks like Santa threw up in here.
 
Derek: (to Addison) I'm not saying this to hurt you or because I want to leave you, because I don't. Meredith wasn't a fling. She wasn't revenge. I fell in love with her. That doesn't go away because I decided to stay with you.
 
Christina: I'm a 55 year old man. I'm nauseous and I can't stop throwing up.
Alex: Forget it alright. I didn't ask for anybody's help.
Christina: Look evil spawn, you can nurse your pride, key word being nurse. Or you can pass your test and be a doctor. Up to you.
Alex: (pauses) Any abdominal pain.
Christina: Yes, from my giant fat belly all the way to my back. Oh and I'm drunk. Hiccup. Hiccup.
